Due to the amount of legends that have held the United States Championship in both WCW and WWE, it is considered to be one of the most prestigious minor titles in professional wrestling. The WWE United States Championship is currently the quaternary title in the company, behind the Intercontinental as the tertiary championship, and World Heavyweight being the secondary championship. The championship eventually made its way to WCW, becoming its.

Like I said, I couldn't decide between the two belts, even though they are very different, but that's what I think is so good about them. If there's any title that can compete with the 'Winged Eagle' as the definitive pro wrestling championship, it has to be the 'Big Gold Belt.' The title originated with the National Wrestling Alliance in 1986 around the waist of Ric Flair, who would become synonymous with the title. Without it, it would look like something should be in that place, and it just flows with the title design. I'm usually highly critical of name plates on title belts, something I hated the WWE for dong to all of their belts back in the early 00's, but due to the design of this belt, it really does work. Again the shape of the center plate is what draws me to this belt. We'll revive the United States Championship, what should we make the design, how about the center plate being a massive American flag, that should get the point across. The new title belt design was far from subtle. The first WWE US Champion was the late Eddie Guerrero, back in 2003 when he won a tournament to revive the title, making it once again the secondary championship, this time to the WWE Championship on SmackDown. Edge was the last WCW US Champion, when it was unified in 2001. Then it was unified with the WWF Intercontinental Championship. The title was used in WCW up until the purchase of the company by WWF in 2001. The WCW US Championship was the secondary championship in WCW, after the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. As far as I'm concerned, all wrestling belts should have black straps. For me, this title had elements of the old WWF Intercontinental belt, such as the shape and the banners, the Intercontinental belt that the WWE are using just now actually, but the differences, like the eagle and the small American flag just set it apart from the Intercontinental belt, especially since this title has a black strap and not a white one. That's why I really liked it, pure and simple, the design. The WCW title was golden and grand, and the WWE title was simply an American Flag.
WWE/WCW US Title Hand on heart, I couldn't call it between the two championships.
